    <h1>Creating a New Project</h1>
    <p>You can create a new Google App Engine project using project starter templates directly from the Launcher.</p>

      <p class="procname">To create a new project using project starter templates:</p>
      <ol>
	<li>

	    <img src="button_add_delete.png" alt="" />

	</li>
	<li>
	  <p>Click the "Browse..." button and navigate to a directory in which to create the project. A new subdirectory will be created inside the selected directory to contain the project's files.</p>
	</li>
	<li>

	</li>
	<li>
	  <p>Click the "Create" button.  The project directory is created, containing project files based on the project starter templates.  These files describe a simple project that can be run.</p>
